That's just silly, to claim that they are.
as Mavdog pointed out, the IRS defines churches as charities. So, you have a definitions problem.

Further, both you and Mavdog did not realize the Salvation Army was a Church. They are so obviously devoted to charitable work that you didn't even recognize it as a Church.

They are obviously a charitable group. They are also a Church.
